Kindle Scribe - Tried to Jailbreak and now stuck in Managed Mode

oLondon · 03-26-2024, 06:52 AM

Hi,

I have a Kindle (on 5.16.2.0.1) that I have jailbreak following the guide https://github.com/notmarek/LanguageBreak

I did the jailbreak while the device was not registered to Amazon AND in airplane mode. I believe I have done everything (I got a mkk folder on the USB Drive).
Now, the device is in the screen where it ask me to register. I can't find a way to leave that screen without registering. AND I cannot register because the device is in manage mode, so when I try to register it says I can't because airplane mode which cannot be deactivated because I am in managed mode.

Anyone has any idea how to bypass that screen? I would prefer to keep the device un-registered but if it needs to be registered, I will survive

Thanks for the help

All you need to do is 
;demo => press the right button it should "enter demo" but it will actually reset into normal mode with English 
After this check if you have mkk folder on your kindle - if it's missing reinstall the hotfix and have fun :)

Maybe you will find something useful here. This instruction is for scribe:

The second that you register your Scribe, an update will automatically begin (rendering your device non-jailbreakable if your prior jailbreak did not succeed).

I recently completed the jailbreak for my Scribe (purchased from Amazon just 10 days ago - shipped with 5.16.2), following the directions found at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=484 , with a couple of minor caveats:
1. I had to go to a shopping mall to find the requisite Wi-Fi gateway that required a web page;
2. After unsuccessfully trying to jailbreak 5.16.2 4x times (and factory restoring in between those times with the DO_FACTORY_RESTORE 0 byte file in the Scribe's root directory), I updated my Scribe to 5.16.2.0.1, and was able to jailbreak the first time I tried; and
3. In between steps 5 and 7 (in the link I reference above), I had to type ;uzb in the search bar (in demo mode) in order to successfully connect to my computer via USB to copy over (and install via UYK) both Marek's and NiLuJe's hotfixes (I may have used ;dsts command as well to access the 3-dot, upper right corner menu for UYK - not sure).

Other than those slight mods to the steps in link above, I followed the provided directions (thanks, mergen3107 and marzek), and was able to jailbreak my Kindle Scribe.

Now that I have KUAL installed, I have to figure out how to install KOReader to make it work (but that is for another thread).

Good luck!
